Tho pYak a. a Climber.

Tho Hill Dyaks Of Borneo are expert
climbers. Mr.. Hornaby, while collect
ing specimens of natural history, saw a
Dyak ascend a large tapang tree, five feet
in diameter at the base, straight as a
ships mast, and without the smallest
limb or knot for 100 feet up.
The man went up the tree to secure a
bees nest hanging from the under side Of
the lowest limb. The nest was simply
n large, naked. triangular piece of white
comb.
a Dyak ladder had been put up the
previous year, and reached from the
ground TO the branches. 1t consisted of
seven twenty foot bamboo poles held al
most end TO end alo"gside the trunk by
sharp pegs driven into the soft wood
about two feet apart,
The pegs We're driven first on one side
of the poles and then on The other, and
to them the bamboO5 were lashcd by rat
tans, which held them firmly about eight
inches from the tree. These pegs served
us tho rungs of the ladder.
Tho builder must have been IL bold
man, with nerves OF steel. He was
obliged to let the ends of the poles over
lap q few feet in order To build the ladder
with safety to himself.
Tho completion of the ladder was most
difficult. Clinging to the slight hamboo
pole, 100 feet from the ground, he hauled
up tho last bamboo, twenty feet long,
drove in the peg, dashed the lower end Of
the polo to 1t, and then assembled That
shaking bamboo to fastrn it AZ the top.
The Dyak honey hunter fastened to his
back a basket TO receive the honey. Max
ing up his brentwood. with which to
smoke the bees out OF the nest and away
from himself, he ignited it, slung it by u
cord from his neck, 50 that it would hang
below his feet, and started up the slender
bladder"
Hand and foot he went up. peg after
peg, with a %nonchalant ease which would
have done credit to the most daring Of
sailors. Even that sailor would have
been pardoncd il lie was u littlo shaky,
while climbing q tall factory chimney by
the lightning roll.
On reaching the lower limb, 123 feet
from the ground. no took his torch in one
hand, waved it toand fro, until it smoked
freely, and then crawled out along the
bare branch until he was in reach of the
coveted nest.
Examining it first on onc side, and then
on the otlicr, he shouted down rs cheer
fully as if his climb had been nothing,
mo honcyi''
Leaving the comb untouched, he de-
scended, with 4 smile, and reached the
ground without the least tremor.-

MAKING all due allowance for the exag-
gerations of the detectives, a novel and ex
tcnsive plan of wholesale robbery appears
to have been discovered at Pittsburg. The
thieves seem to have been willing to steal
anything, even pig iron. New legislation
will be required to meet this new crime,
as was the case when vitriol was first
adopted as an instrument of assault, and
when Charley Ross was kidnapped. In
both these cases, also, Pennsylvania had
the doubtful honor of furnishing an ex-

SE.CTlONAI.ISAI.

W neither between counties in the same
territory or neighborhoods in the same
county-not to speak of the more dan
gerUus jealousy among states-sectional
ism is a sentiment which brings nothing
but evil to all concerned, and is hostile to
progress and subversive of fairness and
justice There is enough OF the spirit in
Wyoming, but not so much as many be-
lieve. who magnify the advantages of IA
vored communities into neglect and slight
OF others not yet demanding the same at
tention. There has been an attempt to
foster local prejudice in Laramie county,
and, il not wholly without apparent
grounds, it rests entirely without solid
foundation in fact. This is especially
true OF the efforts to create Ill feeling on
the subject Of county division, which all
intelligent men recognize as a need of the
immediate future, and few will be found
to oppose any equitable plan for the con-
trol of their own local affairs by the peo-
pie of the northern part of the county.
4 correspondent Of the Lusk Herald
takes the following sensible view of the
subject:
No good can result from such efforts on
the part of persons in any section. That
we have been somewhat neglected is I'M
doubleday true, but il is also true that we
ourselves have been somewhat TO blame
for this. In most instances where our
reasonable requests have been properly
presented they have been recognized and
acted upon by our county officials. 1t is
true we desire a division of the county, as
1t is entirely too large, and the county
seat is too far away from our growing pop
%ulatlon. and from what have heard from
parties Of influence in Cheyenne, | am led
to believe that they are not opposed to
such a nov Let US have no bad feeling
worked up between Cheyenne aud the
north end of the county.

No one panacea of any reformer fits
the case or a alter existing conditions.
Only what mans own soul sees as good
and wills to possess is of faintest value to
him. No attempt ut cooperation can help
till the worker sees its power and use and
Is willing to sacrifice where sacrifice is
necessary; TO work and to wait in pa
tience. Such power is born in the indus
trial school in its largest sense; the school
that trains heart and mind as well rs eve

where curious crabs live, they are in

palm trees, generally occupying holes
at the roots. in which they seclude
themselves during the day, coming out
at night to feed and prowl about.
Their food consists of cocoanuts, which.
curious to relate, they cut from the
trees themselves. Even then it would
seem impossible for a crab to secure
the fruit, when it is difficult for man
to open a green nut without the aid OF
Ratchet. The crabs have been
watched, and they go to work in differ
ent ways. Ascending the tree, the
sharp-cutting claw soon sewers the
stem, and in some cases they hold il

authorities. this being done purpesely

Law and Liberty.

Mr.. Phelps, United States Minister to
England, delivered a lecture before the
Institute of Philosophy, at Edinburgh,
in the course of which he said that law
is a reflex of public opinion and should
thus be maintained, or it would perish
in free country. Liberty. said MIR.
Phelps, is not privilege of the strong.
but IL protection of the weak Nor are
the rich chiefly interested in the main
tenance OF the rights OF property. The
less property a man has the more inn
'rtant it is to him that it be safe. No
)pcrty will be safe when once the
general security that protects all alike
has been lost. 1t is delusion to sup
pose that this security can be impaired
to a certain extent and preserved for
the residue. There can be no middle
ground. Either title to lawful property
must be universally respected or il
ceases to be protected at all. N Y

Scarfs tied by the wearer are most pop

to look as if they had been tied when
put on. Both very light and very dark
scarfs are worn in figures and stripes
of silk, or satin, or armure goods.
Some folded scarfs are shown slightly
pulled or else fiat. but the preference is
for knotted scarfs. White cambria ties
for evening are slightly wider. but are
still very narrow. Large silk mufflers
to wear inside the overcoat are very
dark for day use, and are str ped with

evening us they are cream white and

What Would Follow.

We're such thing possible as the

results would follow. An article in a

teeth in assimilating nutrient that

human teeth might, from want of use,

which lead to the formation of adipose

for the human stomach, the abdomen
would diminish in size, while, possibly.
the lungs might be still further en-
larged. But the general digestive APP
